The global market is expected of smartphones grow almost 6%

According to IDC forecasts for this year, global shipments would reach 1.23 billion units. GEN IA will grow, but with more expensive devices.

According to the Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker, from International Data Corporation (IDC), global smartphone shipments are expected to grow 5.8% year-on-year in 2024, reaching 1.23 billion units. Growth of 12% in the first quarter, followed by 9% last quarter, improved optimism for the second half of the year.

Affordable Android continues to grow in emerging markets, which are coming off a difficult two years, while premium markets are already beginning to adopt GenAI smartphones, generating excitement in the industry.

Nabila Popal, senior research director for IDC's Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker, said the improved 2024 forecast solidifies the path to market recovery, driven by further growth of Android devices in China and emerging markets. The executive added that the resulting growth for Android will be nine times faster this year (7.1%) than that of iOS (0.8%) and highlighted that Apple's lower growth is due to growing competition in China and also a base year of comparison. higher. “However, there is upside potential in the iOS forecast, which largely depends on how well the GenAI use cases demonstrated in the upcoming iPhone 16 launch work and how soon Apple can establish local AI partnerships in China,” he rounded. “IDC expects iOS' trajectory to improve in 2025, with 4% year-over-year growth thanks to Apple Intelligence.”

Anthony Scarsella, research director with IDC's Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker, said that although GenAI smartphones are relatively new, premium flagships will continue to adopt GenAI features to help separate them from the pack. “IDC expects strong growth of 344% for GenAI smartphones, which will reach an 18% share of the total market by the end of 2024, as most flagships will adopt some GenAI features on the device,” he closed. “However, devices with GenAI will not be cheap at first, as the average selling price of these smartphones will be more than double that of devices without GenAI, which will further drive the tendency to perceive them as a premium segment.”
